DYING WORDS ARE RULED 0UT Prosecutors in Eastman Case Lose Important Point. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 24.—The prosecution lost its first critical point in the admission of evidence against Profes- sor Eastman of Harvard College, who is on trial in the Superfor Court charged with the murder of his brother-in-law, Richard Grogan Jr., when Judge Gaskill stated that certain cvidence, in the form of a repetition of the statement alleged to have been made by Grogan as he was dy- ing, was not admissible in a certain fo! which tended to convey the opinion a not the fact as to whether he (Grogan) had been “killed” or *“murdered.” The point raised by Attorney Elder for the prisoner apparently was unexpected by the Attorney General. Lota Broughton, a witness, was asked to repeat what she had heard Grogan say, her testimony }mvmfil already gone beyond the point where it had been shown that Grogan was wounded. Elder, interposing said he anticipated the answer to be, “Charles, you've murdered me,”” and to it he objected as incompetent evidence upon the plain ground that it was Grogan's opinion, not a_specific deciaration of the dying man. On the same ground he ob. jected to evidence already presented, which in effect was open and not bare statement of fact. Attorney Knowlton took the opposite ground, but the decision was agalnst the government in almost every particular, the exception being that the identica words objected to were allowed to stand in the direct testimony of Titus, a drug~ gist, who saw the struggle between Gro- gan and Eastman and heard the former speak immediately of having been shot. The concluding witness, and one whose evidence was expected to be important, was Belle Bryan. the housekeeper for Mrs. Grogan. Her story had not pro- ceeded enough at to-day’'s adjournment to disclose the government's strength at this point in its ckain of circumstances.

Special Dispatch to The Call NEW YORK, April 24—The Press says the struggle is on between the rulers of the railroad world for the first ocean to ocean railroad in the United States. The titanic character of the contest was indi- cated on the Stock Exchange yesterday, when 662,000 shares of the common stock of the Union Pacific Railroad Company and 98,000 shares of the preferred changed hards. Never before were there such large :fl.u in a single stock. It means that Hill's Burlington deal has completely chnnred the complexion of the railroad situation, carrying with it the possibility of a rail- road from New York to San Francisco. The Union Pacific is the missing link in any railroad chain which may be stretched between the two oceans. vand;:: It means, too, that Willlam K. | bilt has revived the old-time dream of |ing the greatest rallroad man of this | tamous raflroad family and making him- self famous as the Vanderbilt that planned and controlled the line whose ter- minals should be in sight_of Sandy Hook and the Golden Gate.

The New Discovery for Catarrh Seems to Possess Remarkable Merit. A new catarrh cure has recently _ap- peared which so far as tested has been remarkably successful in curing all forms of catarrh, whether in the head, throat, bronchial tubes, or in stomach and liver. The remedy 15 in tablet form, pleasant and convenient to take and no special secrecy is maintained as to what it con- tains, the tablet being a scientific combi- nation of Gualacol, Eucalyptol, Sanguina- ria, Hydrastin and similar valuable and harmless antiseptics. This safe and effective catarrh cure may be found at any drug store under name of_Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. ‘Whether the catarrh is located in the nose, throat, bronchial tubes or stomach, the tablets seem to act with equal sue- and nose, clearing the mucous membrane of throat and trachae from catarrhal se- cretions, which cause the tickling, cough- ing, hawking and gagging so annoying to every catarrh_ sufferer. Nasal catarrh génerally leads to ulcera- tion, in some cases to. such an extent as to destroy the nose entirely and in many old cases of catarrh the bones of the head become diseased.
